Good to know the matches will be played in Karachi instead of Punjab. Time to prove that other parts of the country are safe as well. Pak fans will remember this courageous gesture by the West Indian side. Like the Sri Lankans they too have always been good to us. I agree, proper one day matches would have been better nevertheless it's a start.

PP's own self proclaimed sharpshooter and defender of Islam and Pakistan.

no bowler wil bowl over 12 over, and no batsmen will likely play more than 25 overs over the 3 days

thats not even the equivalent of a single day of test cricket - I wouldn't worry about any injuries due to workload

Yeah but it's not the same intensity as Tests. As a bowler you have to bowl your heart out at optimal pace in the 4 allotted overs and as a batsman you have to look to score off every ball, run hard and basically use every single opportunity unlike Tests where you can just let them go.

As much as I have my differences with what Sethi did during the 2013 elections (debatable) I have to say that this man has raised the bar, in terms of performance and achievement, when it comes to being the PCB chairman.

His successor would need to literally do a lot in his / her tenure if he/she might be considered someone of equal measure. The next step should be to get matches done in Peshawar, Quetta, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Faislabad and Abbotabad/Gunjrawala

We need to bring cricket back home by 2022/2023 completely and now I believe there should be a short multi-city tour between Karachi/Lahore with ODIs, T20s and a solitary test. Ireland, Afghanistan or even the West Indies could be potential teams that could be persuaded.
